Next To Heaven Riding Stables and Dude Ranch

This is the best place to enjoy a safe horseback ride on the mountainside with a beautiful view! The service is impeccable and the staff provide great care and attention to the horses. The tour is unguided by a person but the horses are so well trained they know the way up and back down the mountain without a guide. You can rest assured that you are in safe hands. The scripture and verses on the trees at random spots on the trail was a sweet reminder of Gods love and blessings. You will definitely be blessed in this experience! I hope one day we can travel back to Visit Next to Heaven again!

They have a really awesome staff. The trail was really long and they had some amazing views. The horses are really nice and we didn’t have a single problem while riding the horses! The overall experience was soooooooooooooo much fun! I would highly recommend this place!

During my trip to Tennessee, we wanted to do some horse back riding and zip lining. We checked out next to heaven and the staff here were very friendly. The prices weren’t very pricey either and I definitely enjoyed my time spent here. The horse back riding is a unguided your and the horses know where they are going so it’s near impossible to get lost. Not to mention the view when you’re on top of the mountain is spectacular. When we finished the hour long horseback riding, we then did the three lines if zip lining. The staff that was in charge of this were both very good. They knew what they were talking about and were friendly as well. If I’m not mistaken it was David and Lucas? They did a very good job taking us through the lines. The lines were incredible especially if you have the balls to let go and hang upside down while going down. If you are in the area I highly recommend both of these!

My mom and I went zip lining and horseback riding while there today. It was a great retreat from Pigeon Forge, which is clearly a tourist destination (which neither of us care for). The zip line was easy, the guides were awesome and friendly, and we had a blast. The horses were well trained, kept adequate pace, and listened to commands. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Definitely a place we would go back to and recommend to family&friends.

Best experience of our trip. No guided tours with no experience required. Well trained horses, my 8 y/​o was able to handle her horse with ease. Was definitely worth every penny!
